palace, noticed several carriages wait

"move on" 1 do not know whether
he suspected me of being of a politically
dangerous nature, or of harboring within
my bosom Anarchistical feelings of
hatred against old Monsieur Grecy, but I

and thought had said something about
my making tour de oiNe-a walk about
town. So he expressed himself to the
effect of this being good thing to do,

the more for me to "move on" In short,
the French republic has seen Communism
and license of every kind, but its people
have never known anything like the in

A Process of Welding.

The process of welding invented by Mr..
De Banardoz, of Russia, is now applied in
dustrially by the Society for the Electrical
Working of Metals. The pieces to be welded
are placed upon fast-lron plate sapPori;eeHa
the negative pole of a source of electricity.
The positive pole communicates with an
electric carbon inserted in an insulating
handle. On drawing the point of the carbon
along the edges of the metal to be welded
the operator closes the circuit. He has then
merely to raise the point slightly to produce
voltaic arc whose high temperature melts
the two pieces of metal and causes them to
unite.-Erchdnge.

1t is remarkable fact that poets seem to
apologize for living almost by the en-

such an imputation as the above, nor was
the consumptive-looking individual an ex-

frayed at the bottom into the whiskers of

fluttered out at the sedentary lattice work

A few hairs of unkempt beard fell like
Eolan strands to his coat lapels, through
which the wind was accustomed to blow
with lyric and melancholy significance.

which was being carried on when the
attention of all was attracted by noise
coming from one of the large streets

caused by the tramp, tramp of an i'm

tune of: "Nos pendules! Nos pendules !"

in the fact of the Communards of II

A Chinaman Applies the Rule to WORK

A Chinaman, says the Christian Advocate,
applied for the position of cook in a family
in one of our Western cities. The lady of
the house and most of the family were men,
bers of a fashionable church, and they were
determined to look well after the character
of the servants. So, when John Chinaman
appeared at the door 81, he Was asked ;s Do Dc
Clistian man." do you play cards?" No;
Clistian man." He was employed and
gave great satisfaction. He did his work
well, was honest, upright, correct and re-
spectful. After some weeks the lady gave
progressive euchre" party, and had wines
at the table. John Chinaman was called
upon to serve the party, and did so with
grace and acceptability. But next morning
he waited on the lady and said he wished to
quit work. why, what is the matter"
she inquired. John answered: 81 Clistian

The Homeless Lads.

DR.. Barnardo the philanthropist of Lon
don, has secured 5000 acres of land in the
Northwestern part of the Dominion of Can
ada, and proposes to make the entire block
an industrial farm, where homeless lads of
London may be sent. DR.. Bernardo has
been singularly successful in retaining the
little waits of the British metropolis simply
because he has not aimed so much to relieve
their more pressing needs, although he has
done that, as to give them training which
will enable them to help themselves and be-
come respectable members of society.-Ex.

ODESSA'S THEATRE.
What the New Playhouse Will Cost that
Municipality.

Municipality.
The new theatre which has just been COM
pleted in Odessa will soon be opened to the
public. No less than 100000 rubles were
spent in its construction, and both inside
and out the fittings and decorations are of
the most sumptuous kind. The theatre,
which has a seating capacity of 1000, is ex-
ceptionally rich in statues, lapis lazuli, marble
pillars, mosaic and gliding. As the monthly
receipts cannot exceed 10000 rubles, and as
new opera cannot be put on the stage for
less than 10000 rubles, or drama under
10000 rubles, the theatre will cost the Odessa
municipality some 100000 rubles year, ex-
elusive of the cost of scenery, costumes and
lighting, which will be by electricity.

"'Alasp cried dame, 'and aack,
How my joints with the rheumatic crack

And your troubles will never come back"
The editor had fallen back into his chair
in utter establishment; he gasped for breath.
There he was" he said to himself with all
his sanctorial dignity, UNDECIDED by young
poet who was obviously oblvious to the dread
full traditions of editorial wrath, and who
might for aught he knew, continue his ha-

to"
"a composer went nearly insane
With the pangs of a horrible pain;
Then st. Jacobs Oil tried
Till the pain he defied

to the occasion. Come up here-foreman-

"Once lover of Eileen Ashore
Was kicked by her sire from the door.
But on portions confused
He st. Jacobs Oil used
And he sits just the same as before"
The profanity editor entered at this mo-
ment, but before he could start his powers
into activity in response to the editorial sig
nal, the poet reeled off another verse of his
madrigal:
"Once singer in reaching a note
Got very bad sprain in the throat.
Was of wages denied
Till st. Jacobs she tried,
Then her voice reached to octaves remote"
But strange to say the profanity editor, in
stead of relieving himself in a spasm of lurid
expletive, caught the infection of the jingle
and commenced to pat upon his knees the
nimble rhythm while the "deviP' jigged it off
upon the entry floor.

startled by the news of some trouble hay

of the German opera the Lohengrin. Eager
to satisfy myself as to the truth of the

POLICE DOING BUSINESS.

The arrest of John Most for q
speech he claims he never made, was
only one of the numberless moves to
connect the labor movement with
alleged disorder. Most, we claim,
had a right to speak, and if the for
eign blue-coats don't like his style of
German, they need not listen. But
that is not the question. Capitalists
are frightened, and pay literally for
such assurances of safety rs the ar
rest of a few takers. The police do
their best to keep the capitalists in
a state of mental anguish, and find
it profitable. And if few men are
being hung Or imprisoned why,
that's business; that's all.

day. AT night he worked out the details
of an invention for eConomizlng in the
number Of men employed in the factory
One day he finished his machine, carried
it to the shop. and showed his boss how
well it would do the work Of a dozen or
twenty men. The boss was thunder
struck: but before he could examine the
invention Meyer seized a big hammer
and knocked its delicate machinery into
chaos.

IN answering toast, in which the
orator had spoken of the untold
blessings of present society, he said
calmly but firmly, "No, no, my
friends, don't tell me any longer
that we are living in the happiest
possible world. On the contrary,
our time is only II transient period,
out of which new society will grow.
| am convinced that the actual polit-
ical and social institutions soon will
give place to other institutions,
which will answer in a far better
way the needs Of the future. can't

but one thing is certain, it is to be
more just than the present state Of
things. Socialism only shall make
us a happy, worthy and, prosperous
